Thailand HS 2203 beer and HS 1601-1605 processed meat exports
~USD 1.85B (2024)
Thailand exported approximately USD 1.85 billion in combined HS 2203 (beer made from malt) at ~USD 65 million and HS 1601-1605 (prepared and preserved meat, fish, and crustacean) at ~USD 1.78 billion in 2024 per Thai Customs trade data. Processed poultry (HS 1602) dominates the meat preparations basket, anchored by CPF, GFPT, Saha Farms, and Betagro exports to Japan, the EU, and the Middle East. Beer exports remain small in absolute terms relative to ASEAN peers but the craft beer category has grown rapidly off the 2022 partial liberalisation of brewing licence thresholds, with Stone Head, Mahanakhon Brewing, and Sandport Brewing leading the Thai craft scene.
